Bizhu leaned closer and said, "Madam, someone has stopped the bridal sedan chair. Don't worry, we'll be there in just two streets." I wasn't in a hurry at all.
I asked Bizhu to go and see who it was. When she came back, her description looked very much like the pawnshop manager. I asked her to bring the person over, but Bizhu looked hesitant.
I said through the veil, "He must have come on business. The Marquis and I have both met him. He's probably here to offer our congratulations. Today is a very auspicious day. You should bring him along."
Bizhu then led the people over, and I knew it was him as soon as I heard his voice.
I tentatively asked, "The shopkeeper?"
The pawnshop owner laughed heartily, "This new lady still remembers me? Today is your joyous occasion, and I've come to offer my congratulations. I wish you both a long and happy marriage, and may you be forever united in heart." But that's not what I want to hear. I want to ask you other things.
However, the auspicious time waits for no one. The bridal sedan chair was lifted up again, and it looked like it was about to leave. I was just about to ask again when the sedan chair was carried away.
Bizhu whispered, "Madam is newly married today and it's not appropriate for her to talk to outsiders. She almost committed a serious offense just now. However, that young master left a note, which I secretly kept. Please take it."
I hurriedly took it and looked at it. There was only one sentence written on it: "Fate brings us together and fate separates us. We come at midnight. I will never fail you in this life!"
What does he mean by this? This should be considered a love poem, but what I'm asking is whether he knows the secret of time and space. I really want to travel back in time.
Ever since my soul transmigrated to the Great Zhao Dynasty, I've been unhappy every day. Even though Xie Yuancheng is more handsome than Pan An and has extraordinary looks, it can't stop me from wanting to go back.
The bridal sedan chair had stopped. I hid the note, and the sounds outside abruptly ceased.
I had just felt the sedan curtain being lifted when Xie Yuancheng grabbed my hand, and I had no choice but to follow him out of the sedan chair.
My skirt was so long it dragged on the ground. I'd only taken two steps when he picked me up. I don't know what kind of perfume he'd applied, but the smell made me feel dizzy. We then went to the chapel to pay our respects to heaven and earth.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, it still felt unreal; all I could hear were joyful sounds, and I just felt drowsy. After finally finishing my drinks with Xie Yuancheng, everyone around me left.
I felt like I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore, so I just slipped on my slippers, ripped off my clothes, and went to bed.
When I was half asleep, I felt someone taking off my clothes. I woke up with a start and retreated to the inner bed.
I looked at Xie Yuancheng warily: "You, you..." I stammered for a long time, unable to think of anything to say. I really wanted him to leave, but I couldn't bring myself to say it.
Xie Yuancheng had already taken off his wedding clothes. Perhaps because the room was too dimly lit, he looked incredibly pleasing to the eye.
I pulled the blanket over myself: "I'm going to sleep."
Xie Yuancheng lay down beside her and said, "Ying'er, don't worry, I won't force you. But it's late, let me help you change your clothes and get some rest."
I dodged his hand and buried my face in the blanket: "Get out, I can do it myself."
Xie Yuancheng leaned closer: "How can that be? The Emperor has already approved the marriage decree, and we are now husband and wife. If you're shy, I'll close my eyes and not look."
He actually leaned against the pillow with his eyes closed. I waited a few minutes, and seeing that he didn't move, I got out of bed. I quickly unbuttoned my clothes; the buttons were on both the outside and the inside.
The period dramas I used to watch on TV were all a hoax. The clothes were just tied up with a few straps. The actors were really good at acting, but I had no idea how many buttons were actually in the clothes. It took me ages to undo half of them.
